Coral Reef Temperature Anomaly Database (CoRTAD) |

The study reveals that over 40% of the world's oceans are heavily affected by human activities and few if any areas remain untouched. These results are illustrated in the image above, adapted from Figure 1 of the paper. In the image, cooler shades (blue to green) represent areas with lower levels of human impact. Warmer shades (yellow to red) represent areas with higher levels of human impact. The project is the first global-scale study of human influence on marine ecosystems. Several animations have been rendered to more effectively display the static image shown above (NOTE: some of these are very large!). All of them portray the results from Figure 1, displayed on a revolving globe:
CoRTAD Data Files: The CoRTAD is divided into 128 files, based on the tiles described above. Here are their names and sizes. During FY08, these data were made accessible to the public. Additionally, the CoRTAD has been formally archived at NODC and listed in the Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS).
